Active clinical trials for "Spondylitis"

Tofacitinib (TOFA) is a JAK inhibitor already used in rheumatology for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis in adult patients who have responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to one or more disease- modifying antirheumatic drugs. Furthermore, TOFA has been recently approved for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) who had no response, lose response, or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic agent. The approval was based on the efficacy demonstrated by TOFA in three phase 3 randomized controlled trials named OCTAVE: two identically designed, 8-week, placebo- controlled, induction studies of oral TOFA 10 mg twice daily followed by the OCTAVE Sustain 52-week maintenance study. About sacroiliitis, 2 out of 8 patients treated with TOFA improved after 8 weeks, compared with 0 out of 3 patients in the placebo group. Obviously, these data should be interpreted with extreme caution since patient numbers were very low, and it should be again emphasized that these trials were not designed to explore the efficacy of TOFA onextraintestinal manifestations. On these premises, we designed a prospective, multicenter, observational, 52-week study with the aim of assess the effectiveness of TOFA on UC-associated spondyloarthropathy.

An Observational, Prospective Cohort Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of RemsimaTM in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis

The objective of this study is to collect and evaluate long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes data in order to better understand the safety and performance of the shoulder arthroplasty over time. This study will follow subjects long-term for a minimum of 10-years, without an early-term restriction on the amount of time they will be followed.

This is an observational, prospective cohort study to evaluate the safety of Remsima® SC in the treatment of RA, AS, PsA and Ps.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell injection in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis, and to further explore the efficacy, pharmacodynamic profile and appropriate dose of administration to provide a basis for the use of safer and more effective treatments for patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis in the future. Participants are required to sign an informed consent form and, after undergoing a series of tests and meeting the protocol's entry and exclusion criteria, are assigned to a dose group for intravenous infusion of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells.

Spondyloarthritis is a chronic inflammatory joint disease that affects the spine and sacroiliac joints. Most untreated patients eventually experience impaired mobility of the spine, pain and reduced physical function. Exercise is a cornerstone in the treatment of patients with spondylarthritis and it has been shown that high intensity exercise is just as effective in reducing disease activity as immunosuppressive medication. Additionally, patients with spondylarthritis have increased risk of cardiovascular disease both due to traditionally risk factors (obesity, high blood pressure etc) but also due to chronic inflammation. A maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness that can be used to show progression of the exercise and which also is correlated to all-cause mortality and life expectancy. The investigators will validate an indirect maximal CPET against the gold standard with direct gas exchange measurements in patients with spondylarthritis. The indirect test is less time consuming, requires less sophisticated equipment, has lesser requirements to test personnel and facilities, and has less expenditures than the direct test. With a validated indirect maximal CPET the test of cardiorespiratory fitness will be more accessible for patients with spondylarthritis both in-hospital but also municipal.

The investigators goal is to provide a mechanism that allows for a better understanding of patient outcomes following rehabilitation. This includes functional outcomes measured by standardized and validated tools from the published literature. It incorporates comorbidities and patient demographic characteristics. It includes measures of general health as well along with activities of daily living and behavioral health aspects. Measures of quality and satisfaction and use of Net Promoter Scores also are included. All of these components come together to form a remarkably comprehensive picture of patients and their associated outcomes. This is a unique milestone in rehabilitative care and will act to inform and direct evidence-based approaches and treatment guidelines. Data are collected via the investigators proprietary electronic medical record system and are synthetic to the clinical process-that is, the data are collected in real-time with patients and the scores are immediately provided to the treating therapist as well as archived for later Registry and scientific use. Subsequent reporting can be risk adjusted to any variable collected which yields robust insights as to idiopathic patient conditions. However, no PHI information will be available.

The purpose of the OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Study is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to certain medications, to evaluate the possible teratogenic effect of these medications and to follow live born infants for five years after birth. With respect to fetal outcome, it is important to evaluate the spectrum of outcomes that may be relevant to a medication exposure during pregnancy, and these include both easily recognizable defects which are visible at birth, as well as more subtle or delayed defects that may not be readily identifiable without special expertise and observation beyond the newborn period.

Xeljanz XR extended-release tablets 11 mg (Tofacitinib citrate) is a drug subject to the risk management plan in accordance with Article 4-1-11 of the "Regulation on Safety of Medicinal Products, etc." in Korea. As part of additional pharmacovigilance activity, this Post-marketing Surveillance (PMS) was planned to evaluate safety and effectiveness of Xeljanz XR under routine clinical practice. At least 200 patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, or Ankylosing Spondylitis who were treated with Xeljanz XR will be enrolled about four years.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Jaktinib is safe and effective in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis.
